Cardiac CT/PET-will we take back cardiac imaging ultimately?

According to September 2011 RadioGraphics, 31, 1239-1254, edition where the authors predict the utility for cardiac PET/CT especially for coronary artery disease.  According to them, Hybrid PET–computed tomography scanners allow functional evaluation of myocardial perfusion combined with anatomic characterization of the epicardial coronary arteries, thereby offering great potential for both diagnosis and management.  Cardiac PET can be performed with an increasing variety of cyclotron- and generator-produced radiotracers
